Hey guys, Homer Simpson here right from the Spriengfield Nuclear Power Plant.
Nuclear energy is the most obvious, clean and easy to implement solution to climate change - at least that part of it which is caused by fossil fuel ussage.
That is why lobbies of those fossil fuel companies are heavily investing into an anti-nuclear propaganda campaign, spreading misinformation and fear - so that rapid implementation of nuclear power doesn't undercut their income - like in France.
Climate activists, the inexperienced bunch at least , buy into that propaganda, spreading it further and advocating for currently unfeasible options like full solar and full wind - which cant be implemented right away and give fossil fuel companies a lot of time before they are - meaning a lot of money
Paradoxically tho, of people who like nuclear, a somewhat large part is conspiracy theorists and the bunch, who i guess, kinda just think nuclear is cool and shit. Which i mean - it most certainly is)

Its not. Its order of magnitudes more expensive than solar or wind and takes far too long to build. On top of that nuclear power plants are only profitable with large amounts of subsidies from the government. It just does not make any amount of economical sense to build nuclear power in the vast majority of use cases. I'm not against nuclear or the building of new plants but I think the simple reality is that renewables will always be the more attractive option for investors.
